Upgrade the Optical Fibre and Structured cabling modules With the new changes in ACMA mandatory requirements for technicians installing optical fibre and structured cabling Integracom have incorporated a pathway into the program for technicians to upgrade their certificate of attendance to a Certificate of attainment allowing them to add the endorsements to their existing open registration. We can achieve competency with the following: After the technician has completed the online Optical Fibre and Structured Cabling modules associated with the Advanced Security Technician program they are eligible to attend a three day practical workshop. The workshop incorporates the following practicals: 1. Terminate Category 5 and Category 6 outlets from the outlet to the patch panels 2. Test the links for cable certification compliance 3. Splice optical fibres using a fusion splicer 4. Terminate optical connectors using a field termination crimp kit 5. Test optical links with an OTDR certification tester 6. Test optical links with a light source and power meter. Successful completion of the online modules and the workshop will allow Integracom to issue the following three certificates of attainment (Competencies). 1. ICTCBL3009A Install, terminate and certify structured cabling installation 2. ICTCBL3010A Install and terminate optical fibre cable on customer premises 3.
